Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Located on the Île de la Cité, this memorial is dedicated to the 200,000 French citizens who died in concentration camps during World War II.
We happened to stumble across this memorial site. The surface looks like a small, peaceful park, and overlooks the Seine. Once you are inside, the weight of the memorial will come down on you. An extremely moving site, and something to see for all.

This bridge, depicted in a famous painting by Renoir, is the oldest remaining bridge in Paris.
According to my understanding of French, it is both the New Bridge (as in unused) and the Nine Bridge. Either way, it is a nice structure to cross on foot (includes the western end of the Ile de la Cite) and also an impressive structure to pass under (which I did three or four times on the amazing Batobus. When one goes under this bridge, one can see and photograph (as I did), the massive letter N on the sides.

One of Paris' most serene and romantic places, this square features harmonious architecture. Built during the Renaissance and somewhat altered, it's still gorgeous. Come and sit on a bench on a sunny day and let your heart sing.

A small park on the Île de la Cité.
It’s tiny speck of grass on the western tip of Ile de la Cité. There is a huge tree, under which one can sit comfortably and watch the city go about its business.

The present monument forms only a part of the former palace of the Capetian dynasty. Charles V ceased using the palace in the 14th century and decided to house his law courts here. The Concierge, or keeper, was appointed by the king and was responsible for policing within the palace walls. At the end of the 18th century, many prisoners detained by the Revolutionary Tribunal were held in the Conciergerie, including Marie-Antoinette.

The Palais de Justice de Paris is a large complex of buildings. We visited the Conciergerie and Sainte Chapelle and also had a look around several other parts of the complex. There are law courts in this place as well and many police and other military style officers guard the whole complex. Worth a visit.

The gardens behind the Notre Dam cathedral are an ideal getaway from the tourist attractions. Relax here and enjoy the silent peaceful views of the river Seine.
